Item 5. Other Events
---------------------
(a) On May 25, 2000, the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation issued an air pollution notice of violation to Niagara Mohawk
Power Corporation ("Niagara Mohawk") regarding the operation of its two
formerly owned coal-fired generation plants (Huntley and Dunkirk). The
notice of violation was also issued to NRG Energy, Inc., the current
owner and operator of both plants. The notice alleges violations of the
federal Clean Air Act and the New York State Environmental Conservation Law
resulting from the alleged failure of the companies to obtain permits for
plant modifications and the alleged failure to install air pollution control
equipment. Niagara Mohawk is unable to predict whether or not the alleged
violations will have an adverse material effect on its financial position
and results of operation.
(b) On June 1, 2000, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation issued a press release
regarding an announcement to auction their ownership interest in the Nine
Mile Point Unit 1 and Unit 2 nuclear plants. (Exhibit No. 99).
